The Missouri Tigers Basketball team continues to be a strange story. A week ago the five punks on the left nicknamed by some the "Athena Five" got into a brawl at a Columbia bar that resulted in their leading scorer (the clown in the middle flashing gang signs) getting his jaw broken and the other four suspended for at least one game.On Wednesday night a diminished Tiger squad lost a game at home it should have won to a terrible Nebrasksa basketball team.
Today the Tigers upset a very good Kansas State squad in Columbia with two of the five re-instated after the start of the game. The Tigers came from ten points down at half to beat K-State 77-74. Mizzou outhustled and outplayed Kansas State in the second half. What makes the upset even bigger is that K-State had handed unbeaten Kansas it's first loss of the season just three days ago.
I am proud of the Tigers win today and happy for Coach Mike Anderson who did the right thing in suspending these players. For the record Anderson recruited only one of the five. But, I am embarrased that these five morons pictured above were recruited to represent my alma mater.
